What We Offer

Curated Villa Portfolio

Our portfolio includes a range of hand-selected traditional and modern luxury villas in island and mainland destinations such as Mykonos, Paros, Antiparos, Sifnos, Santorini, Syros, Patmos, Spetses and Porto Heli..

We are not a mass rental portal. We select villas according to our very own high standards. Knowing the owners personally, we inspect each villa closely beforehand, to ensure it fits our philosophy.

Tailored Experience

We stay at most properties for a few days to get the real experience each villa has to offer, so as to better match them with each customer’s personal style, needs and preferences.

We don’t just rent luxury villas. We are responsible for designing the perfect experience for our high-end travelers. We acknowledge their expectations and wishes, and provide a tailored experience to enjoying the very best of Greece has to offer.

Dedicated Concierge

We are a hands-on company and take pride in looking after every detail. We offer our clients the highest level of expertise, flexibility and discretion to ensure that everything runs smoothly, as promised.

­­­Local Expertise

Each of our villas is located in destinations we personally know and love. Thus, we offer guests the very best of tailored information and services needed to make their private luxury experience an idyllic one.

Our hospitality service is based on solid relationships with villa owners, as well as a network of local high-quality service providers, experts and suppliers whose pleasure it is to make your stay perfect.
